Vans Womens Standard Mid Chelsea Snow MTE, brown/grey

You are Made for the Elements. These are your Vans.

Practical, packable, and wear-at-the-bar-able, the Standard Mid Chelsea Snow MTE is a downsized version of Vans’ best-selling Standard Snow MTE snow boot. With a waterproof vulcanized lower, waterproof seam-sealed construction, 100-gram weight insulation package, and a Standard Snow MTE outsole featuring All-Trac all-terrain rubber, classic Vans style and day-to-day winter weather footwear have finally converged. This mid-top boot features stretch gore at the opening, and is made with a mix of leather, suede, and synthetic materials.

• MOISTURE MANAGEMENT: The waterproof vulcanized and seam-sealed construction provides an impenetrable leak guard, keeping snow and wet out.

• THERMOREGULATION: Shoveling the walkway, walking the dog, or running to the market—we all want warm feet on a cold day, and the downsized 100-gram weight insulation package gets the job done.

• TRACTION: Specially designed for cruising around in cold weather conditions, the Standard Snow MTE™ outsole with All-Trac, a cold weather-specific all-terrain rubber compound, offers next-level grip and traction for variable terrain.

• STRETCH GORE: A lightweight and resilient stretch material has been added to the opening of the boot to allow ease of movement and easy on-and-off.

About Vans:

Vans are synonymous with California and skate culture. Their timeless designs have transcended generations and will for years to come.

Their humble roots ring true to any DIY'er as taken from their Wikipedia entry:

"On March 16, 1966, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California, U.S., brothers Paul Van Doren and James Van Doren, Gordon Lee, and Serge D'Elia opened the first Vans store under the name The Van Doren Rubber Company. Paul Van Doren and D'Elia owned the majority of the company, while James Van Doren and Lee each owned a 10 percent stake. The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. On that first morning, twelve customers purchased Vans deck shoes, which are now known as "Authentic". The company displayed three styles of shoes, which were priced between US$2.49 and US$4.99, but on the opening day, the company had only manufactured display models without any inventory ready to sell—the store rack boxes were actually empty.

Nevertheless, the twelve customers selected the colours and styles they desired, and were asked to return later in the afternoon to pick up their purchases. Paul Van Doren and Lee then rushed to the factory to manufacture the selected shoes. When the customers returned that afternoon to pick up their shoes, Paul Van Doren and Lee realized that they had forgotten to maintain a cash reserve to provide change to customers. The customers were therefore given the shoes and asked to return the following day with their payments. All twelve of the customers returned the following day to pay for their items."
